Vital Quotes:

"Our fans deserve better. Their support is as good as anything in the country and, given the fact that we are a team that is struggling in Division One and has not won for 10 games, it is a bit humbling.

"If we can show half as much desire and passion as those supporters show, we will be okay - but we are not."

Bournemouth Team News:

Jayden Stockey is set to be included in Bournemouth's squad after he was recalled from a loan spell at Dorchester Town to cover for the injured Ben Williamson.

Williamson suffered an ankle injury in training and is expected to be missing for up to three weeks for the Cherries.

Former Owls striker Lee Bradbury is the the boss at Dean Court but he won't take it easy on his former club as he aims to take Bournemouth into the Championship via automatic promotion this season.

The Cherries have no other injury or suspension worries for the visit of the Owls.

Player to watch: Liam Feeney

Feeney provided the cross for Bournemouth's goal in their 1-1 stalemate against Huddersfield Town at home on Saturday and he'll be key in Bournemouth's attacks again against Wednesday.

Wednesday Team News:

Striker Gary Madine is expected to return to the starting line-up after he was cup-tied for the FA Cup clash at Birmingham City on Saturday.

Madine is expected to return to the Owls attack alongside skipper Clinton Morrison, with Neil Mellor the man likely to make way and make do with a spot on the bench.

Young midfielder Liam Palmer has a good shout of a first league start for Wednesday after impressing in midfield as a second-half sub on Saturday. He could partner Isaiah Osbourne in the Owls midfield.

Richard Hinds has also put his hand up for selection after he was brought on at St Andrews early in the game - both Michael Morrison and Mark Reynolds' starting roles will be under threat.

Player to watch: Gary Madine

Wednesday may be woeful at the back at present but they'll also have to score goals if they're to get them out of their current poor position. Madine has been the man finding them of late and he'll be fully fit after missing out at St Andrews at the weekend.

Agree with that team except give Heff a chance from start with Madine-hasnt been given a chance really.Clinton has the passion we want to see but doesnt look like scoring.Anyone know whats wrong with JJ,know hes been ill but we need him back.I know hes frustrating but he is always a threat with his pace.

i wouldn't expect jj back any time soon if ever leon, maybe we should look at playing 3 up front with heff, madine and morrison because at present the plan isn't working and the best way to take pressure off a dodgy defence is to attack and play on the front foot
